I have found that those front ends are much tougher than most people give them credit for. 100% agreed that a 6 lug 14 bolt semi-floater rear would be your best bet on an improvement in toughness. What is your current gear ratio?

i wouldnt bother with custom shafts, the RC ones arent all that great, if you can find stock stock ones those are your best bet otherwise just use the junk oriellys ones and keep a spare or two on hand in all honesty. you arent rock crawling so you shouldnt have an issue but people tend to like he look and overall durability.

I'll look into gear ratio

gotcha, so if your worreid about it pull the covers off and youll need to count the pinion and ring gear teeth and divide them by each other to find your ratio
